METAL-SAWING MACHINE.

To (all whom it inlay concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. JUnNcs'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Croton Falls, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Metal-Sawing Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My inventon relates to a metal-sawing machine especially adapted for use with large and heavy work; and the object of my invention'is to combine in one machine the necessary devices for both actuating and controlling the movements of the saw that it may be efficiently and as far as possible autoy matically operated by even a single attendant, exclusive of those engaged on the material operated upon. In my improvement I employ a group or series of devices for revolving the saw, a movable carrier for'a portion of said devices, and a tubular swinging support .for the carrier, devices adapted for moving the saw-group carrier and tubular support longitudinally of a main shaft to ac commodate the same to the position of the work, devices for moving the saw to and from the work, devices for holding the saw in a semielevated position, devices for progressively feeding the saw during work, devices for automatically disengaging the feed at the end of the cut, and devices yielding for the disconnection of the feeding devices under excessof load. These several devices or groups of devices coact, assist, and complete or amplify 'the operations of functions of each other to the production of a most com' lete and fully-operative device by which arge beams,.posts, or other forms of metal can be sawed cold.

. In the drawings, Figure '1 is a general plan view and partial section representing the devices of my im ro'vement, Fig. 2 is a vertical section an artialelevation on about the line a: a: of ig. las if the saw and its frame and coacting devices and one side of the case were removed. Fig. 3 is a cross-section at the line y y of Fig. 2, the parts being shown of exaggerated size for clearness. Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal section through the group or series of saw-operating devices and the carrier at about the line 2' 2, Fig. 1, the parts in Fig. 4 being shown of exaggerated size.

tial elevation of a portion of the devices yielding for the disconnection of the feeding de vices under excess of load, the parts in Fig. 5 also being shown of exaggerated size; and Fig. 6 is a vertical section through the righthand end-of the case, showing the slot and the parts that move therein.

Thecase surrounds and supports the larger proportion of the devices nereinbefore referred to. The sameis open at the lower portion or, in other words, is bottomless. It is composed of ends a a. and sides 5 b, which parts are preferably made with a flange or base 2, adapted to rest upon and be secured to a suitable support, preferably of masonry. The top or cover 0 is stifiened by downward flange or edge, which rests upon the ends and sides and is preferably bolted thereto. The end a. is provided with a bearing 3 forthe shaft d, by which the initial power is applied to the series of devices.

A shaft (2 extends across through tireof the case just forward of the inner ent. of the shaft (1 in suitable bearings 4i a On the inner end of the shaft (2 and on one end of the shaft d are meshing bevel-gears e c, by which the movement and the power are communicated from the'shaft d to the shaft c. A housing a is provided and secured to th sides side I) of the case, and into this housing one end of the shaft (1 projects beyond bearing 4, and keyed to this end of the shaft (1 isa gear f.

The sides I) I) of the case are provided with bearings 5 6, and throu h these} hearings passes a sleeve g, that is ofi set-that is to say, the sleeve 9 passesponiplotely through the bearing 6 and is offset; against the inner face of the bearing 5, a reduced portion of the sleeve g passing through the bearing 5. Within the sleeve is a shaft 9, passing com- On one end of the shaft 9' where it projects into the housing a beyond the bearing 5 a gear f is keyed to the shaft. The gear f is a broad-faced, gear, while the gear f is a narrow-faced gear, the gear f 'by its extra width providing fora movement in the meshing relation of the gear f with reference to the gear f.

The end of the sleeve g where it projects through and beyond the bearings 6 is provided with a flange 7. of appreciable area, to

which is secured a carrier h for the gears and saw, the side of Which opposite to its connection With the flange 7 is provided With a, cover it,- having a swelled portion for the gear, Which cover is'sec uelyfastened to the car I'ier by bolts. Within and across this carrier in suitable bearings (see Figs. 1 and 4) there are shaf s i 'i. The forward end of thesha-it g projects beyond the flange 7 into the carrier 7t, and the flange 7 is provided with 9.- collar 8, surrounding the shaft g, and which collsr extends forward of the surface of the flange 7 into a recess of the'cem'ierh and acts to center the carrier with reference to the shaft g. On this forwerd end of the shaft 9 there is a hevehpinion 9, which meshes with a bevel-gear 10 on the shaft i, and on this shaft i, back of the bevel-gear 1G, is a pinion 11, which meshes-with a gear '12 on the shaft t; Thesaw 7c is connected to an arbor la in hearings in the right-hand portion of the carrier h, which bearings may he of any suitable character. The saw, as is Well known in this art, is aprovided with a series of circularly-arrange perforations nearer to the periphery than to the arbor, and these ere engaged by the teeth of e sprocket13 on the end of the shaft '21, the power being communicated to the saw bythe' devices just described.

The operative devices 'hereinbefore described comprisethe group or series of devices ior revolving the sew, the movable carrier for a portion of said devices, and a tubular swinging support for the carrier, for it will be apparent that the saw, the carrier h, and

\ the gears Within the same, together with the fisnge 7 the sleeve 9, the shaft g, and the gear may be moved loi'igitudinclly otthe shaft and sleeve in the bearings 5 6 of the case to the extent of width of the geerf or possibilities of movement provided in the I housing (H.

case and is provided with suitul steers hearings in the sides I) I). The two face-plates 14 end 15 are held against the opposite sides of the half-gear l by nuts 18, which pass through the nut 16 end into and through the faceplates, the said fece-pletesforming guides 70 with relation to the member or helf geer Z for the-nut 16, so as to keep said not 16 at all times in the half-segment slot l On one end of the threaded erborl? is a Worm-Wheel l9, and 1 provides shaft 21, run- 7 5 nin'g lengthwise of the case and out through the end it and terminating in a handle 22. At the inner end of the shaft 21 there is a, suitable hearing 23,rsecured to the side 5 of the case, and on the free end of the shaft 21'is 30 s worm 20, whichlmeshes with'the Worm Wheel 19. The shaft 21 by its handle 22 is turned h hand. This rotates the 'worm 20, turning the WOI'ID WhBSl 19sec the arbor l7 This movement of the arhoi giT-ceuses the same, acting in the confined nut 16, to'b'eer with force uponth-helf-geizr Z and to. move the same, the sleeve g'-', and the shaft 9 lengthwise, conse uently-moving the carrier, aswell as the tubu er swinging'isupport or sleeve '9 9o and the saw group supported-by end connected to the carrier. This movement is solely longitudinal or axially of the shaft gyso as-to hrin the saw with reference to the case to-the rig place in relation to the work to make the out. o

It now remains to move the saw up to or from the work, and the devices for thus mow ing' the saw comprise the following: The

shalt m extends across the case between the m sides Z) Z) in suitable bearings, one end of said shalt projecting beyond the casing b for a purpose hereinafter described, Upon the shaft'm is a long toothed pinion m., which pinion meshes with the teeth of the half-gem 1o 5 Z. A shaft it also extends across the casing and is mounted in suitable hearings in the sides 6 b distant from the shaft m. A swinging U-shaped frame n is connected toand supported by the shaft n, said frame being rm provided with e handle 7L Wl'liCi1 projects through an opening in the end a of the case, and by means ofiwhich handle the said frame It and the parts carried thereby are rocked upon the shaft n. o, sprocket 0 adjacent to the inner surface of the side of the case, and on the shaft (1, hercinbe'lore described, there is a sprocket 0, a c min 0 extending between and around Upon this shaft n there is r 15 these sprockets, so as to communicate the power and the movement of the shaft d to the shal t n" The swinging U-sheped frame it carries two arhors 1'1, and a train of gears is connected to the shaft n and the zirbors '2' r"- -tlmt is, a pinion J-lis mounted on the shalt it. This meshes with a seer 25 mount I no on the arbor 2a (in this ether 1 a pinion "i: on the arbor 1-",

the arbor r and below seam 29 of corresponding dimensions.

28 and 29 shaft m is a gear 30. The gears are independent of one another.

In the position of the parts Fig. 2 the rotary movement of. the shaft is continuously communicated, by means of the sprockets 0 0 and chain 0 to the shaft n and 1 393 the shaft n to the aforesaid train of gears, the position of the parts Figs. 1 and free and not to be communicating their movement to any other device. If now the handle a is grasped and raised, the frame a is swung on the shaft n so that the gear 28 is brought into mesh with the gear 30. In this position and fOlltLY-Iifig out the respective rotary movements of the parts a rotary movement in the direction of the arrow is imparted to the gear 30 and the shaft m, turning the half-gear l in the direction of the arrow thereon, and so turning the sleeve g upon the shaft 9 and swinging the saw group in an up ward direction, and thus bringing the saw against the work placed on the top or cover 0 of the case. A downward movement imparted to the handle a rocks the U-shaped frame on the shaft n and brings the gear 29 into mesh with the gear 30. i the movement of the parts and turns the sh aft m and the half-gear in the opposite direction and. lowers the saw group away from the work.

The devices for holding the saw in a semielevated position for instance, after the saw has been brought up to the work and befor the progressive feeding of the saw in per forming the work is started-comprise the following: A shaft 31 extends part Way across between the sides of the casenear the end a, one end of the shaft having a bearing in the side I) and the other end in a bracket 32, secured to the end (1/. This shaft carries a rocker-arm s, on the upper end of which is a hell-crank handle 8. At the lower end of the rocker-arm sthere is a bearing sleeve and head 8 that are pivotally connected to the lower end of the rocker-arm, the said sleeve supporting one end of a shaft t and carrying in its upper face a pin 33, which is ad apted to enter a hole in the lower part of the swinging U-shaped fra1ne'12 Therefore when the parts are in the position Fig. 2, with the pin 33 engaging the swinging frame a and a part of the bell-1 crank handle s coining against the end a of the case, the shaft t'is held in an elevated position. The gears 28 and 29 are kept away from contact with. the gear 30 and instead of the connection of these parts a large wormwheel a on the shaft in is in engagement with the worm a on the shaft t and the saw group and carrier cannot descend by gravity, be-

2 the '1 train of gears are presumed to be running on the arbor T. On

This reverses cause they are held by the meshing of the teeth of the half-gear Z, thepinion m, and the worm-wheel wand worm. a, backed up by the connection of the shaft t to the powershaft hereinafter described.

While the worm 'u is nominally upon the shaft 25, it is actually upon and secured to the sleeve t, which surrounds a portion of the shaft t. Upon the end of the sleeve 15 opposite to the end to which the worm a is secured there is a friction-disk i having a faceright angles to the line of the shaft t, which is preferably surfaced with a strip or piece of leather 34 or equivalent material. A Wormwheel o is loose on the shaft t, and one face thereof is provided with a recess to receive the friction-disk i Next to the worm; wheel 4; on. the shaft tis a collar and while the shaft t and tho pal-ts associated therewith are carried at one end or supported by the'pivoted rocker-arm s and the hearing sleeve and head 8" the said devices at the QP- posite end are supported by a frame and go, having at its respective ends trunnions in bearings 36 upon the sides I) l) of the case, wnich trunnion ends and bearings make it possible for the shaft t and the parts associated therewith to swing on said trunnions and bearings. 'lhc shaft t passes through the sleeve of the frame w. @139 en of the sleeve abuts against the collar 35, and the other end of said sleeve comes up against an antifriction ball-bearing device.

Upon the end of the shaft t which is exteriorly threaded is a hand-wheel w and I provide ball-race disks 37, one of which is received in a recess of the hand-wheel w and the other in a recess in the juxtaposed end of the hub of thefranie eg, and between these ball=r disks is bail-Ca and balls rovfiding an antifriction-bearing at this end of the shaft between the fixed frame and hub to and the handavhee W which turns with the shaft, The worm-wheel e meshes with a worm d on the shaft d, hereinbefore described. I provide a collar 39 upon the end of the sleeve t adjacent to the worm a and a collar 41 upon and pinned to the Shaft near the bearing-sleeve and betwe n these 001- lars around the shaft tie a helical spring 40, The shaft m is prolongated beyond its hear.- ing in the side I) of the case, and upon the same is a collar 42, to which one end of .a chain 43 is secured, This collar i2 is loose upenthe shaft, but by means of a set-screw may be fastened in any desired position. I provide 'a' shaft .4, extendil'ig across the case in hearings in the sides I) b and near the end a of the case. On the and of the shaft outside of the side I) there is a crank-arm 4"5,to which the other end of the chain 43 is secured, and within the case there is another crankarm 46, secured to the shaft and which projects through the end a of the case, and the same at its free end is provided with a pin 47,.

which pin 47 extends over the portion of the hell-crank handle 8 which rests egei st the end of the case.

The devices for progressively feeding the sow during its work and after the some has been raised, as hereinhciore described, corn prise the shaft (Z, the bevel-goers e e, the sheft d, the Worm d on that shaft, the worm wheel 1), the friction-disk t end its sleeve t, the worm it end the worm-wheel u, the shaft m, its pinion m, and the holfiseur Z, which from theposition ol the ports Fig. 2' is slowly turned in the direction oi the arrow to gredw ally raise the sew 12: and the carrier h as the cutting oi" the saw in the work progresses.

By reference to the collar 42 end the chain 43 it will be apparent that with this rotation of the shaft m slack of the chain 4?; will he wound upon the shaft m during this movement, and the devices for outomoticelly disengaging the saw at the end of the out com prise this sho'lt m, the collar 42, the chein 43, the she-ft 44-, and the crsnlcernis 45, 46, and pin l7, hecouse the collar 42 end. the slack- I hhoin 43 ore to he so set with reference to the extentof the cut and size of the work that this chain will be Wound up end will toward the end of the out pull upon the crank-arm 4-5 and swing the shaft 44 end the orenk-erm 46 end in so doing and icy virtue of the pin 47 move the portion of the holLcronk handle 8 that bears upon the end of the case downward and disengage the some from such hearing; and in the movement downward bring this portion of the bell-crank handle a into line with a slot formed in the end a of the case, end which slot receives the some. It will thus he soon that this movement trips the bell-crank handle 8 and frees the rockererin Consequently the weight of the shaft 2 end the ports associated therewith will cause the sums to descend and in so doing to seperote the worm u and thOWO'Z'lIbWhQ-fil u and stop the rotation of the saw and also to drew the pin 33 out of the aperture provided therefor in the lower part of the swinging frame n, releasing ssid frame it and the ports essociatcd therewith, so that the attendant may grasp the handle no end depress the some, so to bring the gear 29 into with the gear 38 on the shaft m, end in so doin to reverse the movement and return the he poor 3 to t e initial position and iloing'turn buck the sleeve g and carrier is and lower the sow sway from the work. t The oil ice performed by "the hand-wheel w is twofold: first, to permit a longitudinal move1ncnt oi the shutt i when the 'ho11d wheel is unscrewed, which movement is pro- (lucedv by on c'xpsneion oi the spring 40, so as to permit the separation of the meeting faces '3 .irictiomdisk t and the wormwhcel v worin-whoel 'v to turn freely t by therotetion of the she-ft d end also when the said iric- 11 he s 1i and worm tion-surfeces are in contact and the sleeve 2 in rotation to provide the initial force that may be required to progressively advance the sow into the msteriel'with the cutting of the some, because it must be remembered that some materials are harder than others and a. friction that would answerbetween the-disk t and the worm wheel o for some materials would be entirely inadequate for others.
